Cat vote here. However, that being said, my daughter and son-in-law have a beautifully trained dog (Labrador and Greyhound combo)who obeys all commands.
   We have a huge (18-pound) cat who would not eat meat if you left it on the table or floor.She eats only dry cat food period.However, she does enjoy nibbling on plants of certain kinds (Spider plant, for example).She is very gentle and affectionate.
   The convenient thing about a cat is that they can be left at home alone with water, food, and access to the litter box, a dog, not so simple.Final word, they're both adorable.
